31. Nice try, but epic fail
Treason must involve levying war against the United States, or giving aid and comfort to her enemies. If foreign corporations qualify as "enemies" under this definition, then everyone in this country would be guilty of treason, since we have all aided foreign corporations in one way or another.

Bribery? To qualify, the impeached justices would have had to take a bribe themselves. Didn't happen.

Other high crimes and misdemeanors? Even if what you cite qualifies (highly doubtful), do you have any idea how long the list of SC decisions which did the things you mention would be? Not to mention the list of impeached justices.

Try again.
